MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a critical heuristic firing for a malicious redirector link, pointing to 'https://ttraff.me/wix?keyword=Kostenlose+online-pdf+zu+epub+Konver'. Additionally, it features a PDF link farm heuristic, indicating an attempt to mass-distribute links, with the first URL being 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0429/9961/1553/files/asimov_s_guide_to_the_bible.pdf'. The document body contains garbled text but includes the malicious redirector URL. The presence of these elements strongly suggests a phishing or malware distribution attempt.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
